Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Sai Ram, Dear Sai Family ... I have to say .. I am always so touched by the quick responses in prayer to those in need and even myself when I send out a prayer request. I think its really important and wonderful that we support each other in this way as one huge large family. This is definately something I know that Swami wants... Recently I sent out a prayer request because my husband went to the hospital with chest pains... We thought initially that he was having a heart attack. It turns out that his Right lung had collapsed. It has a been a long 48 hours .. he is doing much better at the moment and has come home from the hospital temporarily though needing to go back to the hospital today for more Xrays and observations. Miraculously he has not needed oxygen so therefore he has not needed to be permanently admitted to the hospital at the moment and we've been able to go back and forth. This I attribute most definately to our beloved Sai and all of your wonderful support and prayers. Today we discuss whether or not they feel they will operate on his lung or whether they will just keep monitoring him this way and see if the lung heals itself in progression. This is extremely painful for my husband but being the sole supporter and man of the house .. he feels some comfort in not being totally an invalid or hospitalized. Through Swami's grace ( and yours ) his company has been very kind about his sick leave for as of now we have no idea how long this will take to recover. But he is doing... very well .. remarkably well they tell me. Interestingly though ... I often view Swami as my Mother ... and when I write to him sometimes I call upon him as Mata Sai. Many times I have written letters to a shrine of Devi called Vaishno Devi who as the story goes ... Laxmi, Saraswati and Kali all took the form as a girl named Vaishno Devi who was an ardent devotee of Vishnu. I write to this shrine often and have letters taken to the shrine. Well... on thursday .. when I was exhausted and feeling very alone . because my husband and I have no other family than each other .. I was being very overwhelmed and depressed with the idea of if I ever lost my husband. At my lowest point in the day and totally exhausted ... I recieved from the pundits of Vaishno Devi .. an unexpected gift!! .... I recieved a beautiful altar cloth and some prasad from the Vaishno Devi Shrine .. yesterday of all days. I was overwhelmed with kindness and timliness of this action .. that it would arrive here yesterday. It quantified to me .. that Swami as my Mother is always with me .. and he/she knows what we need... when we need it and comes to us in forms close to our hearts. Thank you one and all. Also .. I'd like to say ... I'm over joyed with the talk of a weekly prayer group ... please count me in and I think it quite honestly .. a wonderful form of seva for us all and quite honestly ... truly necessary right now for everyone... It would help pull us all togeather as a family and facilitate our own sadhana in the form of seva. We are one family .. may we always treat each other as such and may Swami continue to bless this wonderful forum.
